Divi WordPress Theme - My Review

Divi is a WordPress theme that web designers do not want you to know. It comes with a drag-and-drop theme builder. You can build beautiful looking unique websites without touching a line of code. Just choose from one of the many pre-made layouts, or pick elements and arrange them any way you like.

Divi is every WordPress developer's wet dream. Surprise your clients with neat responsive websites and have fun building them.

Divi comes from Elegant Themes. If you enjoy building websites, you *need* an Elegant Themes membership. 87 beautiful themes and 5 plugins for the cost of less than a candy-bar each!

Cool guy…ofcourse he is a real techie…need to take take him as a role model…got to know about him through the barcamp site…would like to meet him one day..Thanks for the plugins..i havent tried it yet..but will definitely try it

Unfortunately his Eventr plugin isn’t working w/ the latest WP. That doesn’t do anything to diminish the awesomeness that is 7 plugins in a week. i get pretty excited when i can make minor tweaks to existing plugins in under 2 days.

sidenote… is this blog built on thematic? if so, it looks sharp! ok it looks sharp either way. very spartan, but cool. nicely done.
